Advis pour se preserver et pour se guerir de la Peste de cette année 1668

Rainssant, Pierre · 1668 · A Reims, chez Jean Multeau · 2 pictures

A 1668 French plague advice pamphlet by Pierre Rainssant, printed in Reims by Jean Multeau for readers seeking protection and cure during that year's epidemic. Its two pictures are small letterpress woodcut devices: a title-page coat of arms with a shield of fleurs-de-lis and a winged cherub head above a banner, and a decorative head-ornament of a winged face with flowers and tassels, useful for seventeenth-century ornament, heraldic framing, and border studies.
